SMALL THINGS

SMALL THINGS

Small things
shifts, nudges,bruises
inconsequential
bending of the light

all unnoticed
until something dawns
familiar turned
alien, climate
changed, landscape
erased

supercaldera
on the boil

and yet
radical interconnectedness
you
spin one way
your soul mate tru-luv
opposite apposite
spins the
other

hard to believe it
hard at work
behind
the radical separateness
on the agenda
to bombard
our feelings

mystical it is, which
is just the acceptable way
of claiming
answers are infinite

the Universe
suckered by divinity
into plunging
for
endless variation

the better
to live, survive, thrive
evolve into something
that will
sense
how it works, show appreciation

Arundhati,
burning the midnight oil,
her queenly pen unwavering.
